The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

After the grenades were thrown, Long Fei estimated that there should be very few Japanese soldiers left who had entered the alley.

He then ordered his troops to enter the side path and begin clearing out the remaining enemy forces.

To prevent the remaining Japanese soldiers from holding out and resisting stubbornly, thus causing casualties among the troops.

Long Fei also had the soldiers find a door panel from a nearby abandoned house.

Then, several soldiers took off their tactical vests, overlapped them, and tied them to the door panel.

In this way, the door panel becomes a bulletproof shield, and the tactical vest has bulletproof inserts.

A single bulletproof plate certainly cannot stop the penetrating power of Japanese bullets, but several plates stacked together can definitely stop them, which can provide good protection for the soldiers.

Meanwhile, considering that Xie Qiang's side didn't have enough bulletproof plates, Long Fei used a walkie-talkie to inform them that they only needed to guard the exit.

As it turned out, Long Fei's worries were completely unnecessary. All the Japanese soldiers who could still move had already used the cloth strips to slide down the cliff and escape.

The remaining Japanese soldiers who were more seriously injured but not yet dead fared much worse.

What awaited them was a merciless finishing blow, and being thrown off a cliff.

The stream below the cliff was already filled with the corpses of Japanese soldiers. The water level rose continuously due to blockages, and the once clear water was now stained red with their blood.

In the end, the Japanese soldiers' corpses could not withstand the enormous water pressure and were swept away with a roar.

The water, carrying the corpses of Japanese soldiers, roared downstream.

They quickly flowed into the Da Wen River, causing the Da Wen River to accumulate more than 10,000 Japanese corpses, a truly spectacular sight.

Instead of taking the shortcut, Long Fei returned the way he came, crossed the Japanese positions, and entered the Yunnan Army's territory.

The fire on the Japanese positions had been mostly extinguished by now, and the positions were littered with charred Japanese corpses.

Yoshio Shinotsuka only took four infantry regiments from the 10th Division.

The remaining 10,000-plus Japanese soldiers, along with Ando Rikichi's 5th Division, totaling over 40,000, were all burned to death on the battlefield.

Besides the charred corpses scattered everywhere, the air was filled with a pungent, acrid smell of burning flesh. The smell was so disgusting that Long Fei felt nauseous and almost vomited.

Long Fei covered his nose, forcibly enduring the pain, and urged the driver to speed up. Soon they arrived at the exit of the alley.

Upon seeing Long Fei arrive, Xie Qiang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and began to introduce them.

"Commander, you've arrived. This is Fan Tianxi, commander of the 184th Division of the Yunnan Army."

"Commander Fan, this is Long Fei, the commander of our Dragon Flame Legion."

Fan Tianxi has not yet been promoted to lieutenant general commander of the new three armies; his rank is only major general.

So he took the initiative to salute Long Fei and said, "Greetings, Commander Long. Thank you for your help to the Yunnan Army."

Long Fei chuckled inwardly; here he was, the good-for-nothing general from the TV series "The Believer is Invincible".

"Commander Fan, hello, no need to be so polite. We are all fighting the Japanese. If the Yunnan Army is in danger, my Longyan Legion will never stand idly by."

Fan Tianxi nodded emphatically: "Commander Long is right. I'll take you to see Commander Lu in a bit. He has something important to discuss with you."

"Okay, we'll go after things are settled here."

He waited for more than an hour, and when he saw the soldiers of the First Army appearing one after another at the exit of the path, Long Fei knew that the Japanese soldiers inside had been cleared out.

After Chen Yiding came out, he immediately went to Long Fei.

"Reporting to the corps commander, there were over ten thousand Japanese soldiers who entered the alley. The vast majority have been wiped out, however..."

"But what?" Long Fei asked hastily when he saw that Chen Yiding was having some difficulty speaking.

"However, there were about a few hundred Japanese soldiers who escaped the grenade attack by using leg straps to slide down the cliff. I have already ordered the troops to pursue them."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Long Fei raised his hand and waved it.

"Commander Chen, let the brothers come back. There's been at least an hour's difference; the Japanese have long since fled far away."

"This terrain has its advantages and disadvantages for both the enemy and us. It's already quite good that we've achieved such results."

Chen Yiding immediately responded, "Okay, I'll go and give the order right away."

After all the soldiers of the First Army came out, they piled all the captured Japanese weapons and equipment on the ground.

Many soldiers couldn't help but complain that a lot of guns and weapons fell off the cliff along with the Japanese soldiers' corpses, otherwise they could have captured even more spoils of war.

Long Fei didn't care, since he looked down on the Japanese and their outdated equipment. At most, he could put them into the system and exchange them for other weapons and equipment.

"Alright, everyone, you've all worked hard. Let's go and meet up with the Yunnan army, and then we'll all have a celebratory drink together."

"Okay...okay..."

Upon returning, Long Fei summoned all the self-propelled cooking vehicles from a secluded spot and ordered them to prepare food immediately.

Then he went with Fan Tianxi to see Commander Lu.

Upon arriving at the 30th Army Corps headquarters, Fan Tianxi hurriedly introduced himself to the others.

Commander Lu took the initiative to shake hands with Long Fei and said, "I have long heard of the Dragon Flame Legion, and your achievements are legendary. It is a great honor to meet Commander Long Fei today."

Long Fei calmly replied, "Commander Lu, you flatter me. My Longyan Legion is merely fulfilling the duty of a Chinese citizen."

"Just like your Yunnan Army, you traveled thousands of miles out of Yunnan to fight the war. Even if the Nationalist government did not provide you with military funds, you did not hesitate at all. On the contrary, you were full of fighting spirit and went without hesitation."

Long Fei's words warmed the hearts of Commander Lu and Fan Tianxi.

This dispelled Commander Lu's last remaining doubts, and he decided to accept Fan Tianxi's suggestion.

After inviting Long Fei to sit down, Commander Lu spoke very sincerely.

"Commander Long, after our 30th Army received the Nationalist government's order to block the enemy, we knew that we were being used as sacrifices to weaken the Yunnan Army by using the Japanese."

"However, our entire army is still determined to fight to the death and will never let Commander-in-Chief Long, the people of Yunnan, and our compatriots across the country down."

"I never expected that your Dragon Flame Legion would descend like a divine army, cleanly and efficiently annihilating two divisions of Japanese soldiers. Not only did it allow our Yunnan Army to successfully complete its mission, but it also preserved tens of thousands of Yunnan Army soldiers."

"We have a request, and we hope that Commander Dragon will grant it."

Long Fei could roughly guess what Commander Lu wanted to say, so he answered boldly.

"Commander Lu, please speak your mind."

After glancing at Fan Tianxi, Commander Lu began to speak slowly.

"Since our tens of thousands of Yunnan soldiers were only saved thanks to the Longyan Legion, I think it would be better to let them join the Longyan Legion and go under your command to kill the Japanese devils in the future."

"As we all know, the Nationalist government has long coveted Yunnan. Rather than letting these tens of thousands of Yunnan troops continue to be cannon fodder for the Nationalist government in the future, it would be better to let them play a greater role."

"What is the opinion of Commander Long?"

Long Fei did indeed have the idea of ​​incorporating the Yunnan Army, but he was unsure how to do it.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to propose it, Long Fei is naturally happy to go along with it.

"Of course I welcome them. The Yunnan Army is just as courageous as the Sichuan Army, and they never hesitate to kill the Japanese."

"But if you hand over the troops to me, how will you explain this to Commander-in-Chief Long and the Nationalist government when you get back?"
